God we believe he's going to do some big things in a big way today segment is called speaking faith everybody say speaking faith say it like you like you believe it say speak it faith and we're gonna begin over in Matthew chapter number 17 if you have a Bible please go there verse 14 says this and when they had come to the multitude a man came to him kneeling down and saying lord have mercy on my son for he's an epileptic and he's suffering severely for he often falls into the fire and into the waters so I brought him to your disciples and they couldn't cure Jesus said to them o faithless and perverse generation how long am I going to be with you how long will I bear with you and he said bring them to me Jesus rebuked the demon you never have to be afraid of a demon all you got to do is open up your mouth and rebuke a demon he rebuked the demon and it came out of him and the boy was cured at that hour then his disciples came to Jesus privately and they like hey why couldn't we cast them out so jesus said to them it's because of your unbelief I say to you that if you have faith as a mustard seed you can say to the mountain move from here to there and nothing will be impossible for you however this con goes out by nothing except fasting and prayer now we've been used in Matthew chapter 17 verse number 20 is kind of the springboard scripture to our entire series matter of fact we're about to release a clothing line and some new merch in a couple of weeks and you'll see 17 2017 2017 20 and if you're like what 17 20 were taking and get out of Matthew chap 17 verse 20 and I love the new King James Version of Matthew 17:20 because it does not omit verse number 21 a lot of the times I'll read out of the NIV which has a little bit more contemporary language but for some reason the translator of the NIV decides to omit verse 21 and I like verse 21 especially when I'm in 21 days of prayer and fasting I want to know everything I possibly can about prayer and fasting and so verse 21 says that this kind talking about that demon only comes out through fasting and prayer and this is what you want to know about fasting and praying fasting does not necessarily move God it moves you fasting just because you're giving up some food and giving up social media or TV or whatever you're fasting from doesn't twist the arm of God to come through on your behalf what fasting is it's simply your ability to crucify your flesh and build up your spirit you see the reason that many of us don't hear from God like we've been designed to hear from God is because our flesh is too strong we feed our flesh through media and through the popular opinion all day long and then we hear from God little and so one of the things that we have to do to be spiritually disciplined or to get onto God's frequency is that we go through seasons where we crucify our flesh so that we can build up our spirit and that's what fasting is all about fasting is just this season where were like God I want to know you better so that I can serve you more faithfully and so what's happening someone couldn't temp what is it called commentary that said that fasting is the cure to unbelief and so in context they didn't believe God so you know fasting and prayer this con comes out when you get on your P's and Q's so that you can be spiritually strong y'all with me anyway Matthew basically what it's talking about here in Matthew chapter 17 is a father has a son that's demon-possessed he brings the son to the disciples the disciples can't cure him then he goes to Jesus he's like your disciples can't do anything about my son what can you do Jesus does this thing where he's like look how long am I gonna be with you oh my god why because there's an expectation of disciples of Jesus to walk authority now don't miss that because that's very important there is an expected acai 'pls of Christ in the church today there is an expectation that Jesus has that as his disciple you will be able to walk and authority so Jesus says bring the boy to me he rebuked the devil and he was cured at that moment and I love what the disciples did because they had an opportunity to get offended you know whenever senior leadership says like oh man how long am I going to be which I'm not God bring the boy to me I mean you can say who do you think you are talking to me like that but they didn't do that the Bible says they went to him privately and asked them a question now I always believe that the best leaders start off as the best followers I think I'm an OK leader but I'm a much better follower than I am a leader and one of the ways to be a great follower is that you always ask questions I think that we live in a generation where people make too many statements and they don't know what they talking about you know they get into a segment with people and they're like well I think this and I think that we don't care what you think right now because really you need to grow you need to learn and I just think there's something about people that ask questions so that they can know so that they can grow matter of fact one of the things that we have as our culture code here is that we're life learners that means that the people of a life church we have a teachable spirit somebody say man we have a humble heart somebody say man and we're life learners that means that we don't feel like we've arrived well I've been saved for 20 years and I've read the Bible so long whatever listen God's Word is inexhaustible and we're all growing and so the disciples have this revelation and they're like listen I could get offended at leadership or I could lean into leadership and I might get a great answer so they said why couldn't we cure him and on the heels of that question you've got to know how to ask great question Jesus is not afraid of your question Jesus doesn't like when you doubtingly question him but he loves it when you ask him a question because you want to know him better and serve him more faithfully they said why couldn't we cure him and after that question comes one of the greatest revelations in my opinion in the Bible Jesus says this Matthew chapter 17 verse 20 he says it's because of your humble we could stop right there I could preach for the rest of the year on unbelief matter of fact that's what we're going to talk about next Sunday next Sunday might be the most important Sunday of your life I'm talking about if you've ever dealt with unbelief we're going to give you the answer of how to have a believing heart because all things are possible to them to anybody excited about what's going to happen that's next Sunday we're gonna hit that but watch this revelation he says it's because of your unbelief and I wonder how many people are here today and God has breakthrough on the horizon for you but it's not happening because of your unbelief and God wants to restore your marriage and your relationship but he can't because of your unbelief God wants to increase your business and increase your sales but he can't because of your unbelief and so he says it's because of your unbelief and watch this he says and surely I say to you that if you have the faith as a mustard seed now the mustard seed was the smallest seed that that was around for the most part it's a very small seed but in contrast it turns into a huge tree it was like the black mustard tree that and it grows nine to ten feet tall so Jesus begins a faith message and he wants them to understand about faith after the probing question and he's like listen you don't have to have pastor ken faith you don't have to have Bishop TD jakes faith you ain't gotta have your mama's faith all you need is mustard seed faith and I love it because God uses the small things to confound the wise don't ever despise the day of small beginnings because even though you start with nothing right now you won't stay there if you keep putting God first even though you start small the believer never stays small check check back with me at the end of the year of believin big and see if I'm still who I used to be when the year started and so he says if you can just have the faith as a mustard seed you can say to a mountain move from here to there and nothing I mean nothing shall be impossible for you now when Jesus said this anybody here ever been to Israel before let me see by show hands if you've been to Israel a few of you all you know one of my greatest desires as a pass is to take our church on trips to Israel I was in Israel probably about five years ago and I've read the Bible for years and I did not realize this uh that it's a mountainous terrain I mean like everywhere you know matter of fact if you look at Matthew 17 the same chapter that we're reading in the first few verses it talks about the mountain of Transfiguration so Jesus grabs his sons of thunder Peter James and John and he's like changes into this light and Elijah and Moses show up and Peter's like yo can we build you a tabernacle right here and so he's in the mountain of Transfiguration a few verses over the expectation is that when Jesus said Matthew 17:20 he's actually around mountain think about this for a second so Jesus is teaching his disciples after this probing question something about faith he looks around at the biggest obstacle that is in his sight the thing that people would say is the most impossible thing to move he looks at the mountain and he says all you got to do is say unto the mountain be removed from here to there and nothing's going to be impossible for you he was speaking to a literal mountain that there is enough power in your words that you can move Mount Everest to California and some of you also were here he could have been talking literally but even if it's figuratively the mountain of debt what do you do you got a say into the mountain the mountain of poverty you got a say into the mountain the mountain of depression you got a speak it you got a speak into the mountain why because there's power in your words anybody glad that came to church today it's going it's gonna get better it's gonna get better right and so this was a faith message he says you have faith and then he begins to talk about the power of the words right and so you guys who have been coming to our church for a while you know that right now believing big is a faith series all right and just to do a quick recap to make sure everybody's on the same page faith is what let me help you faith is confidence in the Word of God that's all that it is it's when you know that you know that you know that what God said is yesterday man that he watches over his word to perform it it's confidence in that meaning I'm gonna put my weight on it I don't have a plan B and some things that the Lord speaks it's confidence faith is titled deed in the world in the promises of God right so if you have a title deed to my car that means you own my car even if you don't see my car if you have title deed to it you own it same as it is with the promises of God God promises you peace he promises you joy even if you don't feel it don't see it if you have faith in it you have ownership interest and ownership rights to it faith is also what acting on what you believe y'all been here for the last couple reason right faith is right so faith has three components it has what believing what else speaking and what acting all right so there's times in your life where you have to fake it till you make it there's times in your life that you have to act healed even when you're sick you have to act like you happy even when you're not why faith is acting on what you believe now last week we kind of we kind of extended our definition a little bit of faith and we said that faith has a foundation and the foundations of faith is what was y'all here last week we got one brother with a ball head shouting out the answer and everybody else faith is what found it in the you don't know what I mean by that y'all got to start coming to church more consistently I don't know who that's for but I need to speak that over somebody because it's just like how many y'all want great victory this year you want God to bless you well you can't come to the second grade they missed the third grade come to the fourth grade and think you're gonna have be a straight-a student there's just so you can't just take a month off from the gym then come back next month and then take a month off and think that you don't have significant gains there comes a spiritual discipline when Sunday's belong to Jesus anyway so last week I said the foundation of our faith como Maria is what the Word of God so faith is not mystical you say well what do you believe well you know I just believe this why do you believe that I don't know that's just how I feel I don't believe that God no he can't be mad at me you know this is just how I feel and I'm sure he's okay why is that that's just - no don't found your faith in your feelings founded in God's Word so our faith is not founded in our traditions our faith is not founded in our emotions our faith is founded in the world so you don't know what to believe unless you go to the Bible the only way you know about the afterlife heaven hell the lake of fire is that you got to go study the Bible because everything we believe is is founded in the Holy Scriptures faith is founded in the Word of God and we will take it a step further today if you're ready shall I'm ready faith is released by the words of your mouth that's how it's released faith is released by what you say so what you say shows the kingdom what you believe if you ever want to know where a person really is with you hang out with them long enough to hear them talk because what's in the hearts coming out of the mouth and abundance you know there's a scripture that says that it's the end of the ages it really doesn't matter what goes into the body because that comes out of the drought y'all starting at the drought right it doesn't matter what comes into the body but it's what comes out of the body that defiles a man because out of the heart the mouth speaks all right so there's a scripture in 2nd Corinthians 4 and 13 watch this one it says that we have the same spirit of faith according to what's written I believe therefore I what we believe therefore we what so the same spirit of faith now here's the crazy thing about church so we all got different cultures and different backgrounds and different nationalities and if we were to do a study we will see God has sent older people younger people and we like diversity here we like just people being people we like that here you know what I'm saying but then he says we should have the same spirit of faith so even though we have we're different places on the India ground praise God and even though we are different places in the personality test and we come from a different background in different sides of the tracks when God calls us to a church we should have the same spirit of faith in the only way that we have now the spirit of faith isn't anointing that why does it doesn't matter what church you go to because every church has a different anointing and there is faith that is in this house I'm talking about radical moving faith I'm talking about raising the dead faith I'm talking about healing the blind at oz faith and when you connect with the church like this the oil of the house now begins to affect your family does anybody believe what I'm saying to you today and it says and we have the same spirit of faith I believe therefore I speak we also when you go home and you got bills and you got kids today actin right we also believe the Word of God and we also speak the Word of God and so how is faith released it's released by the words of your mouth now here's the thing there is a divine connection between what you believe and what you say what you believe and what you say I can kind of I can go through a bunch of different scriptures with you because you know but I'll give you a story real quickly so my wife she was diagnosed depressed for 12 years of her life Tabitha okay she grew up in the projects in Uniontown Pennsylvania really didn't have much growing up experienced all kinds of abuse verbal abuse physical abuse different battered woman's houses she lived in here and there I'm sexual abuse her father was a boxer and he died of a brain aneurism in the rain when she was six years old she was raised then by her grandmother her grandmother died when she was 12 years old and so it sent her into a really really dark place diagnosed depressed panic attacks disorder anxiety disorder suicidal thoughts for 12 years of her life she kind of came to a church like this when a life-giving spirit filled Church I remember the pastor was talking about the power of words and she got hold of this see she was completely unchurched like some of you are this is your new you're new to Christianity but she got hold of this one message that I'm preaching to you today that's why the devil and wants you to come today that there is power in your words what did she do she stepped up into the mirror and she began to look herself out of eye and reverse every wrong word that was spoken over her life and she began to say you are fearfully and wonderfully made you're not an accident you're beautiful on the inside and the outside you're a joint heir with Christ Jesus and an air of God you've been made in the image and likeness of God and you're not an accident or mistake you didn't sneak into the earth realm God knew what he was doing when he formed the fashions of every part of my being and with tears coming down her eyes she began to say spirit of depression you're underneath my feet for I have the joy of the Lord and she did that consistently releasing those words for three whole months and that depression left her and she's been healed now for 19 years come on somebody no more depression come on somebody no more medication come on somebody no more therapy come on somebody no more suicidal thoughts won't he do it come on and give Jesus praise because the same God that did it for her can do it for you but there is power in your words if she didn't speak it wouldn't have changed God is waiting on you to open up your mouth and prophesy over those dry bones so that they can live again he's called you to be an Oracle too when you say what he says is this if he said it as a son that I'll take you too far too fast I need you to get hold of this today and so there's a principle that I want you to write down if you're taking notes that we are to call things that be not as though they are until they is I made the LAT I made it up I made the last part we are to call things that be not as though they are and today is now I'm taking that out of Romans 4:17 and I know that my religious brothers and sisters they can't stand what I just said because they feel like God has all power and who are we that we have anything and actually Romans 4:17 is talking about God who calls things into existence but do we have any sons or daughters of God that is in the place this morning understands that you are no longer just the slave or a servant but you've been called a son and that you are an heir according to the same promises that you've been made in the image and likeness of God and what he do we do and there are some things that are in Scripture that God is just laying out for you a principle that you should function in yourself jesus said it this way he says the works that I do shall you do also and then he says and greater works than me sure you do because I go to be with the father and now I'm giving you the Holy Spirit and so now you have resurrect and power living on the inside of you I don't know if y'all with me today I don't know if this church is with me so I have a little social media following and my social media team we got a team of people that help me on social media they basically took a clip of me saying that what did I just say call things in what I'm saying you call things that be not as though you are to the ear so they put that and just all around the world you know you know and hundreds of people's like yes and then you always got your haters and you got your trolls and we living in the day and time haters gonna hate hate hate hate hey just let them hate you know what I'm saying see some of you all you're losing too much energy based upon what your haters and your naysayers think you know who gives a care what they think if God be for you who can be against you you know back in the day we used to try to type stuff back you can't argue what I hate up they just go hey you're wasting your time you know what we don't even take their nonsense off a mile off of my media no more we just let it stay there because I ain't thinking about it I don't care anything about it and frankly it's like a garden snake it keeps the rats away I mean whatever I don't care but but I'm sorry I shouldn't say that but really we love them and we pray for them and we just hope that they get a clue one day but some see my social media team I see sometimes they'll post back and say did you even listen to the whole message because it's on YouTube and then they'll go somewhere and then they call you bad names or false teaching he's like did you listen to the message okay so you're telling me that you're taking a 60 second clip throwing 20 years of ministry with over 20,000 souls saved on preached in Africa and India and South America and Australia and we've seen people healed from cancer in our church and you're bringing who I am as a father and as a man of character integrity down to a 60-second clip that you don't even understand gotta shake it off sometimes I'm just saying that cuz I don't want you to be like that when you have another Christian that has a different style than the one you like don't make them out to be the devil don't demonize unchurched people because they don't know what you know love online church people you hear what I'm saying other people you don't have to make everybody else that you know so anyway I got all upset and I forgot what I was saying yeah so anyway so this statement here so remember last week I said don't take your tradition over the Word of God and you don't want to know why those kinds of people are so upset it's because they've been taught wrong they've been taught that God has power but we have 9 but the Bible says the opposite God has given you Dunamis and exuse he's given you power and authority the Bible says in ephesians 3:20 it says he can do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think according to the power that's at work in you there is a biblical expectation that disciples of Jesus have power and authority so let me show it to you in the end in the word so that you can go home and you can know yourself and you can know who they ignored who to pay attention to and so proverbs 18:21 watch this one it says this proverbs 18:21 it says can y'all see it says death and life are in the power of the tongue I thought we didn't have power and I love it that the scripture says that death and life like God goes to extremes here people it's not like he's like you know what joy and joy and not being happy as in the power of your tongue no he goes to death in life like life and death my God is in the power of did you know what you're working with that you can literally speak life over every atmosphere or you can speak death I know sometimes you're tempted to tear your marriage down with your words but woman of God you've been called to build up the marriage not tear it down you know sometimes I wish I would have never married you I made the biggest mistake of my life but listen the two have become one so if you keep talking bad about yourself you ain't never gonna go nowhere so instead of calling what you see why don't you say what you want to say you're a man of God I love your integrity I love your loyalty I know you gonna come to church with me one day I see it in you I really do and see sometimes we say what we see more than what we want to see and that's why we get what we've been saying when people call the kids bad I just want to slap them in the target go for your old you know a four year olds do they tear it out that's what they do you're just so bad nuh-uh listen I got kids and sometimes they wow for the night but I will never call them bad because even though they act bad that's not who they are and so even when my kids act bad I say you're a man of God you're sensitive to the Holy Spirit all the days of your life fulfill the call to God come over here and let me deal with what you just did and then there's I'm disciplining him I'm speaking to his identity why because life and death is in the power of my tongue and those who love it I love it I love this shall eat the fruit thereof you know how to say sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt me that's a lie from hell I don't know where people got that from that's that's cool for you to tell that to the elementary kid you know somebody stole your recent cup okay sticks and stuff you know but in real life the reason that some of you all are bound right now is because the words that were spoken over to you in elementary and middle school and the first thing you should do when you go home on this twenty-one days of fasting is uproot that demonic stronghold of those words where people told you would never amount to anything that you were ugly that you were an accident that you never and you got to go and say what God said life and death is in the power of your tongue I'll move on proverbs 18:21 this one let's go to the word alright from the fruit of their mouth a person's stomach is filled that's talking about fulfillment and what God brings into your life with the harvest of their lips they'll be satisfied years ago I had this car 1993 Toyota Camry this thing was toe up from the flow of people it had 160,000 miles on it and I had accidentally ran it into a garage and knocked the sideview mirror off of the driver's side me and my dad we had the Gatto audacity to go to the junkyard and find another Toyota Camry they did not match the same color of the Toyota Camry that I had but take the mirror off of that one and put it on mine so that it could be Mitch smashed we didn't know how to wire the car so what we did and why are the the mirror so we miswired it and when you went down the mirror went up and you went to the left amir what to the right this this this car was ghetto-fabulous matter of fact if it rained water would come into the floor of the car and so I had to drive with my feet up because there would be like an inch of rain water in the floor so we would park it on a slant because if you park it on the slant somehow someway the water would move on past the sunroof ghetto-fabulous that's who I was alright and I used to hate this car I used to talk trash about the car and then I heard a message like this that there was power in my words and I said you know what at the time I was in real estate and I was only 23 years old something like that and I wanted a nice car so that you know I was young so I wanted people to feel like I was successful so I said you know what I'm gonna start acting like this is a Mercedes and so what I did is I start cleaning her like she was a Mercedes I started treating her her name was Missy J I get in the car hey Missy J how you doing you know man and so my wife I listen and that's why you gotta be careful who you marry I pull up and I get out of my car sweetheart how you like my Mercedes she said oh I like it a lot you need somebody to just go there which is just crazy if they want to be is that one day I was driving and I was gonna Stuart this car I mean I'm gonna try this thing - the wheels fall off I ain't going in debt you know what I'm saying and sho'nuff the Lord had the engine go out oil everywhere a Superman Parkway true story that's where all cars go to die in DC there's oil everywhere and I say you know what what am I gonna do and I just felt you know what I'm about to go buy me this mercy twenty four years old I bought a brand new Mercedes with eleven miles on it paid it off in a year you say pastor what does that have to do with spiritual things I'm not sure but I believe that with with the fruit of their mouth your stomach is gonna be filled now you can take that to mean whatever you want it to mean that just means that if it has ears and I believe everything dude I'm talking to it I'm speaking to my body I'm speaking over my children I'm speaking over my business when I was in business I speak over the chairs every single morning that God's sending people from the north south east and west and with the fruit of my mouth a person's stomach are y'all with me I'll show you another one go to Matthew go to Matthew watch this one here but I tell you that everyone will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every empty word that you speak for by your words you'll be acquitted by your words will be justified one translation says for every idle word that you speak idle meaning not an operative you know that's how you you know your Booker cus when you get saved you might want to bury the Booker cus your book of custom because when you get a new heart there should be a language of a new man they're really big he's gonna change your heart he wants to change what's coming out of your mouth you know I just I just joined tick tock because of peer pressure and I was I'm on a TV fast but I got hooked on tick tock and I got a I need breakthrough tonight I'm gonna put it down in Jesus name but it's like the most funniest medium that you know this guy right here has like 300,000 followers how many followers you got he's the tick tock genius but anyway I'm going through tick tock and it's funny I mean kids are doing the craziest stuff hitting people in the head with eggs I mean it's just it's hours of entertainment right but you know what I found out that these kids mouths are so foul I'm like who is your mom and dad and they let you say that oh my god but the Bible says that every idle word that you think is funny that you think you're just being real when you stand before Jesus he's gonna say what you say do you remember what you said cuz you're gonna have to give an account there uh y'all ready okay okay forget it forget unwholesome talk forget the book of cus forget all that it's even some of the stuff that we say like I just can't get ends to meet you know pastor I don't know what ends are and I don't know why ends gotta meet you know I'm saying I don't know what that is what you should say is I'm the head and not the tail above all you're never beneath you know some people are like well pastor I just gotta rob Peter to pay Paul sorry Peter I'm sorry people are robbing you I really don't know what that means but what you should say is I'm blessed in the city I'm blessed in the field God is perfecting things that are concerning me I'm dying laughing why you got to die why you got a dollar and can't you live laughing I mean come on why you got to die what you should be saying is no weapon formed against me shall prosper and the number of my days I'm not even trying to make you crazy because I know some people get crazy and anyone to judge what everybody else is saying but what I'm saying is think about it you got a loaded weapon that God has given you called words you've been made in this image and likeness he called he said light being light was you can create your world by your words you might want to be Curfman people said well I'm just so sick and tired how you got to be sick and why you got to be tired I'm healed and refreshed and you're sick and tired that's why you are where you are now to get it on YouTube all right so here's the thing I need you as a part of a live church to make up your mind are you sick or are you healed because you can't be both you don't have to be crazy and say oh don't say that you'll have to judge other people I'm just saying for you and your house I am too healed to be sick okay so when the Bible says that he was he took all of my stripes on his back by his stripes I was healed so since I was here I am here is healed I am and the devil wants me sick so what do I do when I have a week like I just had I say I'm being challenged because I already know that I'm overcoming every challenge I say you know I got hit hard that means I'm going to hit the devil harder I say stuff like I don't feel well because I know my filling has to bow to the truth of God's Word but I will never say that I am sick now some of you are you so if I get sick every three days well if you start to say I get healed every three days maybe to take a couple months and you won't be sick no more y'all leave I got to give you one more scripture do y'all have time for one more I'll give you one more and then we'll be done so check this one out this one is Mark chapter 11 verse 23 it says I say to you whoever says to the mountain be removed the cast on the sea and no doubt in his heart but believes those things he said will be done he has what ever he said I love God's Word because now it's not about what the preacher said it's not about you know people say mean things oh that's naming and claiming or that's you know blab it and Greg don't know what that is I don't know what you mean by that I just know what the Bible said and I thank God that my wife got healed from depression before any religious person taught her that the word didn't work before any religious person tried to convince me that I didn't have power in my words I'm so glad that God restored my marriage and blessed my business before I had any other person that just didn't believe God take his word and minimize it because if you rape this Bible just for like what it says it says he will have whatever he so your life right now is a direct product to the things that you believe in and say if you want to change your tomorrow you might want to change your words because you have what it is you say say pastor it just seems like everybody at my workplace is coming up against me go home and say every tongue that rises up against me you show it to me wrong and dividend judgment because all things are working together for my new say passionately just I'm hearing that they're gonna lay off I'm just so scared I'm gonna lose my job all you're gonna do is go home and saying all things are working together from my good and if I lose this job now I got something better for me anyway if you say it just feels like nobody's around me I don't have any friends you can go home and say thank you Lord for removing the wrong Peter people out of my life to make me go to new people in my life and every person that leaves my life you send in Sevenfold more committed more humble more loving people that will stand by my side and be a real friend because then folk wasn't real friends anyway you can get down and you can start talking about what you don't have but you can say thank God and my god owns a thousand count on the point of Thousand Hills the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof you can talk about the storm in the battle or you can say thank you God that you said peace be still in the same way that Jesus spoke to the winds and the waves you've given me the authority to be to say and do the same you can say I just don't know I feel like maybe if my mom had cancer my grandmama had cancer or you could say you know what killing is the children's bread and I'm healed by the stripes of Jesus and the number of my days I shall fulfill if you have what you say don't say what you see say what you want to see and you'll see what you've been saying God said in Genesis and he said and he said and he said until he saw and then he said wow that's great and he says listen I want you to do the same and you gotta say and say and say until you see it can even say oh man that's great and so here's the homework I want you to go home and I want you to do a faith confession just write it up some words that every single day get up and master your morning and speak God's Word you know what if a confession is now I know that some people will make that a negative thing or confession but it's not it's a very positive thing it's a biblical thing Romans 10:9 y'all know how to get saved believe in your heart and what confess with your mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead and you will be what so salvation is not about being a perfect person it's about being a surrendered one and the Bible says that all you have to do is believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you'll be saved why that's how faith is release your heart in your mouth salvation is because of the grace of God but you receive it because of your faith so you release faith but and so when it says confession it's not you coming to a priest and confessing all of your sins because the truth is is that you don't remember all of your sins so you would never be able to do that confession comes from a Greek word homologue e o homo saying Logie o a derivative of the word logos God's Word is logos and it's Raymond so when you have a confession all you're doing is saying the same thing that God said in his word that's all God is expecting you as a child of faith is don't say what you see say what the word says say what the word says say what the word says say the same things that the word says I know it don't feel good but just say the same things that God says I know they're doing you're wrong but just say whatever God says just somehow homologue is say the same thing that God says and watch results come your direction y'all ready for this come on everybody stand if you don't mind let's let's practice today you know how I say I love for you guys to repeat after me you know why I do that when I say say man that's because that's how faith is released and I hate it when we have a church and they just looking at me and I'm looking at you but I love it when you put faith in the atmosphere let's try it out say I'm on top I'm never beneath I'm the head and not the tail do y'all believe what you're saying sound blessed in the city I'm blessed in the field I'm blessed am i coming I'm blessed in my goal I'm smart of well abled I'm capable God's favor is on me God's favor it's going before me right now and even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil for God is with me his word is all the way right now there's more working for me than working against me thank you Lord that this is my year this is my break out here this is my break new year this is my break out decade this is my best decade say even right now my to my kids through my family and there's nothing that the devil can do to stop what God wants to do I'm filled with grace I have this love of God angels that are stepping into my situation goddess is riding every storm the winds are ceasing right now the peace of God going for the peace of God Lord my mind I am intelligent I quit I am thrown I got God's favor God is in love with me and I'm in love with him he's in love with me my father right now words of power words of victory words of protection works over my family that my family shell me say that one invite contains alive say thank you Lord for using me this is my year to see my god do a big thing in a big way in Jesus [Music] let's praise them cause you know the next thing is you gotta get done praise that it's already alright you gotta go out of here and say it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood a beautiful day in the neighborhood hey put down the doctor's report cuz you got a doctor that has never lost the patient position and he's your daddy he's worthy of your praises gotta pray for you guys every head bowed if you're here today and you're like pastor Ken thank you so much for just preaching faith in my spirit if you're here today and you sense that faith begin to stir in your heart that's because faith comes by hearing God's Word and maybe you're here and you can admit and that's what humility does it allows us to admit that we've sinned that we've had some shortcomings and we've made some mistakes like myself I feel like I was a better sinner than all of you guys but thankfully I don't have to pay the price of the sin because I gave my sin to Jesus and he paid the price for me on a cross Jesus paid the price for every lie that you've ever stolen ever ever Tolan every anything you've ever stolen he's paid the price for the comparison in the competition that's in our heart even unbelief and worry and fear he's already paid the price for everything that we will ever do he brings us to a place like this where we finally say I don't want to do life without the one that made me I step towards you in belief he doesn't cast away he accepts you just where you are so with every head bowed and every eye closed if you say pastor pray with me I would love to pray with you your new year isn't going to be any different than last year unless there's a new you in a new year and a new you starts with accepting Jesus and old things will be passed away and behold all things will become new and if that's you I'd love to pray for you if you say pastor I want to be saved I want to be forgiven of my sins I want to put my faith in Jesus that's you lift up your hand right now all over the building and say pastor you pray with me come on lift up your hand right now
